Anti-radiation missile

treatable disease depends how early it is detected in the body. Cancer can be treated through surgery by removing the tumor. It can also be treated through chemotherapy using anti-cancer drugs to kills the cancerous cells in the body where it is found and also, cancer is being treated with radiation using a radiation therapy to kill the affected cells and areas in the parts of the body. These treatments cause stress, anxiety, depression, and decreases the quality of life in a cancer…

Different types of treatment options are available for patients with bladder cancer. There are four types of standard treatment used, which include, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and biologic therapy. There are also clinical trials in the process, which is a research study that helps improve the current standard treatments. The first standard treatment option is surgery. There are four types of surgery procedures that may be done. Transurethral resection is he most common surgical procedure…

Skin Cancer Today, I am going to tell you about skin cancer. I chose this disease because I’m always warned about the effects of not wearing sunscreen or using a tanning bed. They always say “You could get skin cancer” or something to that nature so I decided to research this disease to see the causes myself. Skin cancer is caused when ultraviolet rays damage the skin cells. This can appear anywhere on the body but is most common on the skin. Those that have low pigmentation in the skin such as…

One example of a gastric emptying study is an operation that is done by nuclear medicine physicians using radioactive chemicals that examines how fast the food leaves the stomach and goes to the small intestine. Gastric emptying studies are used for checking patients who are experiencing signs of slow and, less commonly, rapid emptying of the stomach. Some signs to watch for are low energy levels, nausea, and heartburn. During a gastric emptying study, the patient eats a meal where the food in…

Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of the adrenal glands. Pheochromocytomas are, fortunately, quite rare, and most of them are benign, only about 10% of pheochromocytomas are malignant. Some of the causes include drugs even excessive use of decongestants should be considered, withdrawal from drugs such as suddenly stopping certain blood pressure medications, panic attacks and spinal cord injuries are among the many conditions that can also lead to some of the symptoms seen in pheochromocytomas.…

The division of cancer cells is stopped by drugs that target the mechanisms of the cells which control cell division. But what other treatments are available other than the commonly known chemotherapy treatment? Other treatments include that of radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplant, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. Depending on the severity and the type of cancer someone has contracted, the form of treatment in…

What did cancer look like in the mid 1800’s http://www.cancer.org/acs/groups/cid/documents/webcontent/002048-pdf.pdf In 1838 german pathologist Johannes Muller showed cancer is made up of cells rather than lymph. Muller showed that cancer cells developed from budding elements (blastema) between normal tissues Rudolph Virchow suggested that cells including cancer cells are derived from other cells. He bliebed that cancer spread like liquid in the 1860s german surgeon karl theirch showed that…

Prostate cancer analysis yields interesting insight into existence of two distinct processes as potential therapeutic targets. Researchers have used clinical data from prostate cancer patients to identify two new gene mutations. Previously considered redundant, these mutations have been introduced in mice to map their distinct effects on the development and progress of prostate cancer. Cancer is the second most prominent cause of human mortality after cardiovascular diseases. In a bid to…

Radiation Burns A burn is an injury caused by an excessive amount of heat. It damages the skin, causing tissue destruction. There are four types of burns; thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiation burns. Someone might get a radiation burn if they are overexposed to industrial ionizing radiation or after doing a radiotherapy treatment. Burns Radiation burns will most likely happen to cancer patients during their radiation treatment or radiotherapy. A response can…

How Uranium affects TP53 Do we know how Uranium affects TP53 to affect our bodies? Uranium is a dense radioactive metal, that is used as fuel in nuclear reactors. Uranium has several isotopes, and the most important of these, are radioactive and presented in nature. This radioactive substance affects our bodies in many contrasting ways. Examples are, our organs, DNA, our tissue, bones, and TP53 gene. In this paper, we will focus most on how Uranium affects TP53 to affect our body. The official…
